But that does not mean they will not be just a little bit smug about it when a deserving engine meets their comeuppance.ĭonald and Douglas currently hated to be parted from each other, but, like most twins, they often have their arguments among themselves and can squabble with one another. Both display a keen sense of wit and the pair usually get to have the last laugh, more often taking the moral high ground. Between the two, Donald tends to be the charming, witty joker whereas Douglas is the smart, quick-thinker, calmer-natured one of the pair. They are happy to act as the brawn of the Fat Controller's steam-driven goods haulers. The twins both pull their weight on the Main Line and both Duck and Edward's branch lines. Coupled back to back, with a coach between their tenders, they are very capable of patrolling the lines, clearing them of the snow. They are both used to harsh winter conditions too. They are fully capable of being firm with the other big engines, such as Gordon and Henry, and even the troublesome trucks know better than to try their tricks on them. His salvation from the scrap-heap may have contributed towards his decision to later aid Oliver in his own daring escape from scrap.ĭonald and Douglas are very able workers, strong performers, and handle any task well. Namely, it was Douglas who had not been expected.
The twins' numbers allegedly slipped off on the way and neither could recall them a ploy to prevent one of them losing their twin to scrap. When they arrived on Sodor, they caused the Fat Controller confusion, as only one engine had been expected. They are practical and level-minded, but, despite their maturity, they enjoy playing practical jokes and have been known to impersonate one another in the past.
Years went by for Donald and Douglas when they rescued Thomas from an accident with the Stationmaster's house, Douglas saving Oliver and Toad, working on " The Little Western", Donald teasing Duck about "quacking", and naming a duck "Dilly".ĭonald and Douglas are still Scottish twin engines. Sir Topham Hatt was pleased with their work on the snow and their names were painted on the sides of their fireboxes. Percy heard that Sir Topham Hatt feared that they might be sent away and he asked him about the deputation. Later, they did their work on plowing the snow and rescued Henry. Finally, Douglas tried to push James up the hill with the troublesome trucks and ended up breaking apart the Spiteful Brakevan. First, Donald dealt with the Spiteful Brakevan and then crashed into the Tidmouth signal box. Years ago, Donald and Douglas arrived on Sodor whenever Sir Topham Hatt decides that he can only pick one engine.
